Speeding Ticket Dismissed Without A Court Appearance

Not long ago, a Pittsburgh speeding ticket lawyer with Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC came to the aid of a young college student, when a speeding ticket put her ability to drive in jeopardy. The 22-year-old, who worked at an area ski resort was on her way back to school when she was pulled over and cited after going 64 miles an hour in a 35 mile an hour zone. This is a five-point traffic citation that could lead to the suspension of her license, in addition to a costly fine and most likely a significant increase in her insurance rates because carriers usually view excessive speeding as more of a liability. Obviously worried about these repercussions as well as the time required to address the ticket, the young woman retained traffic attorney Matthew Ness.

With his extensive knowledge of Pennsylvania’s traffic law and procedure, attorney Ness advised his client that due to her busy school schedule, this could be handled without her appearance in court. Ness met with the officer involved and negotiated to have her speeding ticket dismissed without paying a fine or adding costly points to her license. The client was very pleased with this outcome, which was achieved without needing to appear in court.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
